Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Psychologists and Therapists in Marrickville, NSW
Clients present to therapy for a variety of reasons. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space that meets where the client is at, and gently explores what's happening in their life. Together we can work towards goals that are alligned with their hopes, aspirations, desires or needs; to improve connection with the self, interpersonal relationships and the interplay with their surrounding social world.

I love my work. I have been a practicing Psychologist for the last 13 years, working in addictions and trauma in public health. I have worked with people from a variety of backgrounds, which has given me a thorough understanding of the complexity of problems that people experience. My skill lies in helping people understand the issues they bring to therapy, so that we can work together on evidence based solutions to solve them. I also like to think that I bring a friendly and personable approach to this process, making therapy a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Are you struggling with substances, gambling, smoking or other patterns that feel impossible to change? Or perhaps you're affected by someone else's addictive behaviours? As an experienced addiction support specialist, I help you understand these patterns and manage the chaos they create. Together, we'll combine practical education, evidence-based strategies, and counselling to help you make choices that align with the life you want. I also work with clients experiencing challenges including ADHD, chronic pain, relationship difficulties, and complex mental health diagnoses.

I'm a trauma-informed counsellor with extensive experience in DBT.
Many people come to counselling feeling stuck in survival mode. They are overwhelmed, constantly overthinking, emotionally reactive, or caught in the same relationship patterns they promised themselves they would not repeat.
I work with people who are tired of analysing everything and still feeling the same. In our work together, we slow things down so you can understand what is driving your reactions, regulate your emotions, and respond differently with more clarity, control, and self-trust.

NOT accepting new clients! - Comprehensive adult autism/ADHD assessment, report, and ongoing coaching. Call/email to enquire! -

- My therapy clients are often in their 20s and 30s, navigating a period of reflection or change. They’ve started noticing patterns in their relationships, emotions, or behaviours that keep repeating and causing distress or unwanted outcomes. They want to understand why these patterns happen and how to change them. Some are facing major life transitions—such as a breakup, becoming a parent, or exploring their identity—while others simply feel ready to build deeper self-awareness and create lasting change.

I utilise Schema Therapy, with elements from a range of other therapy models (eg ACT, IPT, DBT, CBT) where needed, particularly when assisting people to develop new skills.
In-person appointments are held in Dulwich Hill, in Sydney's Inner West. For online sessions, we will use Microsoft Teams. It is understandable to feel ambivalent about starting therapy (or starting over, with a new therapist). Many people aren't sure if they will 'click' with a therapist or get the results from therapy they are looking for.
